Another couple of quick question continuing on from my thread on gts4 diffs.

Upon further reading I have found that the gts4 gears are geared slightly higher than the GTR boxes as well as their diffs:

Gear GTR gts4

1st 3.214 3.580

2nd 1.925 2.077

3rd 1.302 1.360

4th 1.000 1

5th 0.752 0.760

Diff: 4.111 4.375

What im wondering is can you take the first three gears out of the gts4 box and put them inside the GTR box ? Or even better, could you just take a single gear (3rd) and swap it in. Would there be any difference in the strength of the gears ? Keep in mind I would probably have all the parts cryo treated before reassembling.

Any thoughts on this ?

maybe if you change the whole gearset over to thr gtr mainshaft and use the gts4 countershaft this could be done

It would be a shitload easier to just install a GTS4 gearbox. They are exactly the same anyway. It's only age that kills them.

    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
